The hotel is an easy walk to the central square, the touristy areas, the the park-like walking area, and the old city. This is not saying much as the town is not that large. It's a fascinating town for a strolling. As in many of Portugal's (and other countries in Europe) old towns, it's historic area is enchanting, especially for... More

We stayed in the hotel during a sports event. The hotel is close to the city center. The room was new, spacious enough and with a nice bathroom. The breakfast was good, too.

This hotel is located about a 15 minute walk from the historic town centre. We stayed here as part of a conference, and the service was excellent.

Very clean hotel. Decor was retro, Art-Deco-esque, but cool nonetheless. Excellent breakfast brunch. Quiet, spacious room. Good value. Beautiful little city, especially in 2012. Highly recommended

While I was there only two nights, it was clear that it was a well-managed, professionally-run... More
